I have been into RetroPie for a few years now and a few months whilst searching for RetroPie stuff and stumbled across this forum. I was blown away with the builds you guys have done, I instantly thought … I have to build one!

I thought I would try and go for something a little bit different so I decided on a Yoshi theme, here is how it is turning out so far …



Here are some build pics (I know you guys love ‘em ) … Here are some pics of it assembled … I still need to add back buttons, a dummy cartridge and some stickers to finish it off.

UPDATE: I have now added my back buttons, completed the cartridge and I have added the stickers ...
I’m currently working on a custom emulationStation theme and setting up overlays and shaders. I’m also hoping to make a custom carry case too so we will see how that turns out

Big thanks to everyone on this forum, especially Wermy, Kite, Hoolyhoo and YaYa for making this possible

Great theme choice, really cool. Some decals might be a nice addition if u want to customize it further. Some members have posted methods in the past that are a simple diy process with really nice results.

Thats a really well thought out color scheme, looks great !

This is awfully beautiful

Nice build

That's incredible! I need one now! Where did you get that shell?

Marvelous build Yoshi

It looks so cool! great work

@PF21, funny that you mention decals, when I was mocking up what the colour scheme would look like I added a Yoshi egg but I never really got around to deciding where to put it. Here are my mock-ups to show you where I got up to, they also include a sneaky peak at the Yoshi emulationStation theme which I have been working on too

Mock-up 1 - Over the speaker grill


Mock-up 2 - Below the D-Pad


I was thinking if either trying to create a stencil and spraying it on or using a paint marker to draw it on or maybe a water slide decal if it wasn't going over the grill ... not sure I trust myself to do any of these though

BTW, I honestly can't remember where I got the images which I used to create the mock-ups, it would have been either here or google so if you recognise your thumb then big thanks for helping me on my way with my build.

@TheHappiestBug, the case is made up of 2 cases which I got from the guys over at DeadpanRobot, links to the cases below ;

White Plat It Loud Shell ...

Green Custom Replacement Shell

The guys at deadpanrobot were really helpful, delivery was quick so I tried to get as much of the bits which I needed for my build from them.
